If you’ve missed this ultimate easy smoked salmon platter recipe for any reason—here’s a chance to catch up! It’s one of my favorite ways to throw breakfast/brunch/lunch for a crowd in minutes with a really rustic homey feel. And this smoked salmon breakfast bagel is just a fancier way of putting the platter together in bagel sandwiches all ready for everyone to pick up. I have to say whichever way I end up serving smoked salmon platter/bagels for a crowd is almost always dependant on the time factor.
I know a particular family that pops up every now and then to visit, and almost always unexpectedly—it’s like a tradition that I still can’t get my way around. But lots of time I end up serving up a brunch/lunch like this and they always appreciate it. So I stopped fussing or thinking about their pop-up visits now.
There are so many ways you can jazz up your smoked salmon breakfast bagel, and so many additions you can chose from, and so to make this recipe brief and not go on forever I just narrowed it down to my favorites. Now feel free to add plenty of your favorites too and make this bagel unique every time.
I start with this homemade garlic lemon herb cream cheese—which again may sound tacky—I know..But if you read the post you’ll probably reason with me, probably. And if you still can’t—then go for your favorite store bought. Now on to the sweet mustard dill sauce—this sauce is like magic with smoked salmon! It’s the perfect sweetness, tang and dill-y accent. It just bursts out the flavors. And as a bonus it really does take 3 minutes to whip up and stores in the fridge for weeks! If you’ve got extra, use them on your summer salads—it’s just a yummy sauce!
My favorite bagel is pumpernickel and that’s what I use here in this smoked salmon breakfast bagel. My toppings are cucumbers, red onions, arugula, sliced apples and thinly sliced avocados. Just a perfect contrast of sweet, salty, crunch, fresh, silky smooth cream cheese, crunchy bagel—you really can’t go wrong. Next time you’re rushed to serve brunch/lunch for a crowd, pull up some bagel and assemble these and enjoy!:)
